It then turned upon the otherchild and bit her in the hand.With the blood streaming from theirwounds and frightened nearly Intospasms, the two children ran from theflat.

Reloading his revolver he went to theyard.Krams fired again, and with the firstshot the cat came at him. When everit struck his uniform it tore it.
